Frequently Asked Questions - X50 xhose

How do I connect the X50 hose to my faucet?

Attach the 3/4 inch brass fitting to your faucet by hand-tightening. For a secure fit, use pliers gently but avoid overtightening.

Why does my X50 hose not expand fully?

Ensure the water pressure is at least 40 PSI. The hose requires sufficient pressure to expand. Also, check that the water is turned on fully.

Can I leave the hose connected overnight?

It is recommended not to leave water pressure on the hose for extended periods, as it can reduce the lifespan. Drain and disconnect after each use.

How do I clean the X50 hose?

Rinse with fresh water after use, especially if used with soap or chemicals. Wipe the outer fabric with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Is the X50 hose safe for drinking water?

The hose is not intended for potable water. It is made for gardening and general outdoor use only.

What should I do if the hose leaks at the connector?

Check the rubber gasket inside the connector; it may be worn or missing. Replace the gasket if necessary, and ensure the connector is tightly secured.

How long does the X50 hose typically last?

With proper care (draining, storing indoors, avoiding sun exposure), the hose can last 1-2 seasons. The latex core may degrade over time.

Can I use the X50 hose with a hose reel?

Yes, but ensure the reel is large enough to avoid sharp bends. It is best to hang the hose loosely rather than tightly coiling.

What is the maximum temperature for the hose?

The operating temperature range is 40°F to 120°F (4°C to 49°C). Avoid using with hot water or in freezing conditions.

Does the X50 hose come with a warranty?

xhose offers a limited warranty. Check the product packaging or contact customer support for specific warranty details.
